Based on the analysis of primary sources, the study documents the genesis of teacher education in Trnava, from the establishment of the teacher training in 1857 until 1950, when the teacher training institutes were abolished. It focuses on research into music education and music practice in teacher training institutes. At the same time, it profiles music teachers in these teacher training institutions and their influence on the quality of music education.

Combustion, noise and vibrations produced by n-Butanol and Oleic Acid Methyl Ester (MO) in Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) were investigated. The Cetane Number was determined using a Constant Volume Combustion Chamber (CVCC) for MO100, ULSD, and n-Butanol and found to be 73.8, 47.2, and 16 respectively. In the case of the MO20Bu80 (Methyl Oleate 20% with 80% n-butanol), the maximum Apparent Heat Release Rate was higher compared to ULSD Classical Diesel Combustion (CDC), due to accumulation offuel in the combustion chamber because of the longer ignition delay and cylinder and charge cooling effect of n-butanol. RCCI with Methyl-Oleate had a vibrations level of as much 4.5 (m/s2) higher than ULSD in CDC up to 2k Hz. The sound level found by the Acoustic Array sound level for MO20Bu80 in combustion was 4 (dB) louder than ULSD in CDC. RCCI was found to have its own acoustic spectrum compared to CDC, and this is because of the wider range and higher sound levels produced by RCCI. The study suggests that MO can be used as a surrogate fuel for full body biodiesel in RCCI combustion. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The effect off and Cl on Mn/TiO2 catalyst for selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3 was investigated in this study. It was found that the doping off or Cl has a deactivation effect on Mn/TiO2 catalyst. And the poisoning effect of Cl is more serious than that off. The characterization results showed that the decrease of BET surface area, the increase of crystallinity, the reduced reducibility and surface acidity, and the decreased concentrations of surface Mn4+ and chemisorbed oxygen should be responsible for the deactivation of Mn/TiO2 catalyst by the doping off or Cl.

Standard least mean square/fourth (LMS/f) is a classical adaptive algorithm that combined the advantages of both least mean square (LMS) and least mean fourth (LMf). The advantage of LMS is fast convergence speed while its shortcoming is suboptimal solution in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment. On the contrary, the advantage of LMf algorithm is robust in low SNR while its drawback is slow convergence speed in high SNR case. Many finite impulse response systems are modeled as sparse rather than traditionally dense. To take advantage of system sparsity, different sparse LMS algorithms with l(p)-LMS and l(0)-LMS have been proposed to improve adaptive identification performance. However, sparse LMS algorithms have the same drawback as standard LMS. Different from LMS filter, standard LMS/ffilter can achieve better performance. Hence, the aim of this paper is to introduce sparse penalties to the LMS/f algorithm so that it can further improve identification performance. We propose two sparse LMS/f algorithms using two sparse constraints to improve adaptive identification performance. Two experiments are performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms by computer simulation. In the first experiment, the number of nonzero coefficients is changing, and the proposed algorithms can achieve better mean square deviation performance than sparse LMS algorithms. In the second experiment, the number of nonzero coefficient is fixed, and mean square deviation performance of sparse LMS/f algorithms is still better than that of sparse LMS algorithms.

This article presents the current state of knowledge of British boarding axes. It examines the two models of boarding axe used by the Royal Navy as well as British made axes privately purchased for use in merchant ships. It gives an overview of their use, identifies the main types and records the known manufacturers. It also uncovers an axe that may have been used by the Royal Navy in between the two types already recognized.

In 1779, Susan Carnegie (1743-1821) persuaded the Town Council of Montrose, Scotland, to build a safe haven for those suffering from both poverty and mental illness. As a result, Montrose Lunatic Asylum became not only the first public asylum in Scotland, but among the first in the English-speaking world. Carnegie - born 175 years before women could vote - championed a humane and science-based response to mental illness. Montrose Asylum practised moral treatment a decade before Tuke and Pinel. As a champion of the new mental science, her enduring influence resulted in the hiring of the young W.A.f. Browne. Her story enriches the current wave of scholarship on Scottish psychiatry in particular, and on women in psychiatry in general.

Chloroform extract of bark of Artabotrys crassifolius Hook.f. & Thomson exhibited antibacterial activities against both American Type Culture Collection and clinical bacterial strains in vitro with zones of inhibition ranging from 7 to 14mm. further analysis of this extract yielded artabotrine, liridine, lysicamine and atherospermidine. Artabotrine displayed a broad array of antibacterial activity mostly against Gram-positive bacteria with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 1.25g/mL to 5g/mL. Of note, artabotrine, liridine and lysicamine are bactericidal against Gram-negative extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella with MIC values equal 2.5, 2.5 and 10g/mL, respectively, and minimum bactericidal concentrations values equal to 2.5, 5 and 20g/mL.
